Arsenal 4-3 Leicester: Gunners leave it late as Premier League returns with a bang

Arsenal produced a stunning late comeback to beat Leicester 4-3 as the Premier League returned in thrilling fashion on Friday night.

Arsene Wenger's men were 3-2 down with seven minutes remaining but goals from substitutes Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud stole the game from under Leicester's noses.

Big-money signing Alexandre Lacazette took just two minutes to score on his debut but he was outshone by the visitor's No 9 as Jamie Vardy scored twice against the team that came close to signing him last summer.

In what was a pulsating start to the new season, which was kicking off for the first time on a Friday, Leicester equalised within two minutes of Lacazette's opener through Shinji Okazaki and then took a shock lead through Vardy.

Arsenal responded just before the break through Danny Welbeck but Vardy headed home from a Riyad Mahrez corner on 59 minutes. As the home fans started to become restless, Arsenal staged a late fightback with Ramsey and Giroud both finding the net from close range within two minutes of each other to send the Emirates into delirium.
